This is one of my favorite stores... If you are not lucky enough to have an Anthropologie near you, visit their online store. Their antique farm cabinets, and one of a kind pieces are incredible. The clothes are my favorite.

I was inspired this morning by my friends home Tim & Lisa. They use alot of architectural pieces along with beautiful antique finds. Im always amazed at how soft and pretty all white is. I love the original finishes, and patinas of old statues and furnishings. Im always going back and forth on what I should do, and I am constantly changing. I will love something, and promise to never let it go, and 90days later its out the door. Its nice to get a mix between architectural and romantic. Look at some of these photosSoft and pretty, some of my favorite pictures to look at. I will share some of their antique finds with you as well.

"I found the fabulous Full Bloom Cottage a few months back and fell completely in love with Loretta's beautiful furnishings and sumptuous linens. Her vintage European grain sack bolsters are by far a favorite of mine. Full Bloom Cottage's products are of the highest quality and will never disappoint. Loretta's use of vintage linens, chandeliers and exquisite vintage furnishings and accessories blend together to create a warm and relaxing home full of definite beauty. I am extremely blessed to have some of her lovely pieces in my own home." -Melinda Barrowcliff-Reyes of Alabaster Rose Designs

" I have bought several gorgeous pieces of furniture from Loretta, I would have to say she has helped furnish three quarters of my home! If I'm asked what would be my favorite piece I wouldn't be able to choose. The armoire is just incredible, the detailing on it is so unique, the chandelier in my dining room is to die for! My armiore in my bedroom is just perfect, I love waking to it every morning. Not to mention all the other pieces! I'm always anticipating what she's going to have next, and what new piece of furniture that I will be adding to my home!" Rebecca -A French Home in NY
